Sources of Ukrainska Pravda in the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine reported that DIU’s drones struck the large Russian landing ship Tsezar Kunikov in the Black Sea. Later, Defence Intelligence of Ukraine officially reported that the warship was sunk by Magura V5 maritime drones and released a video.

The Ukrainian military says it has destroyed a large Russian landing ship in the Black Sea off the coast of occupied Crimea in a combined operation of the armed forces and military intelligence.
The Rybar Telegram channel, which is close to the Russian Defense Ministry, confirmed the attack, although without providing details.

Things are going badly for Ukraine — really badly
By Mia Jankowicz and Tom Porter | Feb 13, 2024, 11:08 AM CST
At the heart of Ukraine's problems is diminishing international aid.
Ukrainian troops are having to restrict their ammunition use, and in some parts of the front line, they're being outgunned three to one, Bloomberg reported recently.
US-supplied guns such as the howitzer are falling silent near Bakhmut — a city that has been the site of months of brutal combat — because of shell shortages, CNN reported.
Personnel problems are also growing. Among the core disagreements between Zelenskyy and Zaluzhny was recruitment, with the former military chief saying Ukraine needed to massively boost the number of people being drafted into the military, while the president was concerned about the impact on already fragile national morale.
With the prospect of another Trump presidency next year, Putin is "sitting pretty," Bury told BI. The chance of the US shutting off Ukraine aid altogether offers "a path to victory for Putin now where there wasn't for a good while," he said.
"But it always comes back to this: What do we want to do?" he added. "Do we want to see a democracy crushed by an autocracy? Where does the West draw the line here?"

I actually feel sorry for the average Ukrainian. Average people caught up in the Maidan/ pro-EU movement thought they were agitating for a Euro lifestyle, with Euro living standards and Euro democracy. Strolling down boulevards and drinking lattes at sidewalk cafes. Maybe even less corruption and fewer oligarchs.
Wow, how little they knew of plans western neocons had for them! If they had known they would be thrown against the Russian bear, and that it would cost them a half million dead or wounded men, millions of refugees, martial law, and a shattered economy, they would have never started down this path. Even Zelensky didn't realize the sacrifices he was expected to impose on his countrymen, until BoJo set him straight.
But this isn't the first "bait and switch" globalists and neocons played on entire peoples.
Look at Europe! The elites were slavering over Russia's resources, bureaucrats were slavering over "moar power", and the MIC was slavering over the prospect of dumping old weapons onto a third-rate country and getting fat juicy contracts to replace them with expen$ive new ones.
But the average You're-a-peon was told they were "protecting democracy" and "saving Ukraine from that Terrible Tyrant". Little did they know their "ally" would blow up their pipelines and that it would double, triple, or quadruple energy prices; impose deindustrialization and de-agriculturalization (globalist "green agenda" to starve the people and save resources FOR THEMSELVES); centralize policy power in the hands of Brussels Eurocrats; and increase crime and diminish democracy at home.
And we can say the same for us, too. We're being told we're for LQBTQX+ and fighting climate change and promoting democracy abroad and helping the poor migrants and being protected from pandemics, but it's all like a boa constrictor: ever-tightening controls, ever-diminishing prospects.
"Never let a good crisis go to waste" indeed!
I'll bet you dollars to donuts that people in Russian controlled oblasts are actually enjoying more democracy than those in Kiev-controlled areas, where elections have been canceled and men are dragged off the streets and sent to die on the front lines.

Mr. Luongo makes an important point. I want you to think about this: there is a reason that the WEF-Globalist cabal is losing the battle to control and dominate the rest of us. They are trying to power straight into the opposing currents of reality. Above all, they seek to centralize power and decision-making. But the world is moving in the opposite direction. All of the WEF’s aims founder on the macro trends unspooling in history.
The rising rule for human affairs now is that anything organized at the giant scale is going to wobble and fail. There will not be any world government run by the creatures of Davos or Brussels, or Washington DC, or any other place that the grandiose imagine would be their seat of global power. It’s not going to happen so you can stop worrying about it. But you’d better prepare for what is happening: everything in our world wants to get smaller, slower, finer, and more local. Anything that opposes these trends is pissing into the wind.
Since every activity we humans practice has to move in that direction, we are seeing colossal industries, institutions, and arrangements crack up: everything from national government to long-distance supply chains to giant retailing outfits to worldwide business networks to overgrown universities and high schools to transport matrices to metroplex cities to mega-farms to political parties.
Where the rot is probably greatest, but more veiled for the moment, is in the operations of organized capital, the banks and money systems, including financial markets. When these monsters blow, as they must, all the others will shake, rattle, and roll. They have to blow because the fuel tank is emptying.
American oil production may be at an all-time peak now at about 13-million barrels-a-day, but most of that — about 8-million — is shale oil, which is a manifestation of our tremendous debt roll-up since 2009. Now that we’re at the absolute limits of debt, we’re also at the limits of shale oil. The production of shale oil paralleled the accumulation of all that debt both in size and rate of increase, and as the debt goes bad — meaning, unpayable — the organized capital sector will blow and shale oil production will fall as sharply as it rose. It is also a fact that shale oil is subject to natural limits — we’re out of “sweet spots” to drill.

Except that nations with huge energy supplies and organized capital ... i.e Russia... will do quite nicley.

From the acknowledgments to Putin's Russia: The Rise of a Dictator by Darryl Cunningham
I find myself writing the same thing in the acknowledgments of every book, but it’s always true. I’m indebted to the many journalists whose work I’ve drawn from while writing/drawing this book. This time I'm particularly indebted to Winter Is Coming by Garry Kasparov, Putin’s People by Catherine Belton, The Man Without a Face by Masha Gessen and We Need to Talk About Putin by Mark Galeotti. These books are essential reading if you want to explore the subjects of Putin and Russia in greater detail.

Why? Maybe they should ask the average Russian how THEY feel about Russia, and Putin, instead of imposing western views of Russia on Russians?
Personally, I feel sorry for most Americans. We're stuck like insects in amber in a corrupt system. But I know you hate Americans, so I don't expect you feel the same, or wish for America to improve.

Oh. I agree.
I'd never say Fuck Ukrainians.
We've been really lucky to live where we do. For the most part all the international meddling and imperialism doesn't come home to roost.
But they're letting the invasion of our borders happen without either party seriously doing anything to stop it. They don't actually want to stop it. And because most of the stupid proletariat don't understand math, they don't understand that this problem is cumulative like unchecked inflation is.
America is dying.

Quote:You didn't look into any of those books about Putin, did you? You don't even believe Russians killed 62 million other Russians. If you had absorbed the fact of 62 million murders, the new idea might hit you that those mass murders changed Russia for the worse, warping it, making Russians who didn't flee the murdering into the people who would murder Ukrainians for profit. Join the Russian Army and receive a 1,000% increase in your annual income. If you die, there is a big bonus for your family in Siberia!
